Admiring fellow attorneys describe Michael Wang, a prosecutor in the San Francisco U.S. Attorney's office, as "rabid" and "an animal" because of his intensity and tenacity. In 2005, he moved up from street crime prosecutions to lead a resurgent white-collar unit. From 2005 to 2006, new white-collar filings jumped nearly 70 percent, largely fueled by fraud cases. Defense lawyers say Wang is also one of the prosecutors investigating stock options backdating at companies such as Apple and KLA-Tencor.

Michael Wang is an unlikely pit bull.
He’s slightly built, neatly coiffed and normally dressed in high federal-court style — navy suit, bold yet conservative tie. His speech is interspersed with long pauses and references to 19th century English poetry. And notes he took at Harvard Law School were passed down for years — a distinction that embarrasses him.
